The Chinese automobile Giant unveils the PHEV with high fuel-efficient capability.
On Tuesday, BYD, a leading Chinese automobile manufacturer, launched its latest generation of plug-in hybrid technology, setting a new benchmark in fuel efficiency. This innovative technology boasts a record-low fuel consumption of just 2.9 liters per 100 KM (62.1 miles) when operating on depleted batteries.
The announcement was made by BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu at a high-profile event in Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi province. Xi’an holds historical significance for BYD as it is the location of the company’s first automobile manufacturing factory, established following the acquisition of Qinchuan Automobile Co. in 2003.
This cutting-edge hybrid technology promises an impressive driving range of over 2,000 kilometers with a fully charged battery and a full gasoline tank. This advancement marks a significant leap from BYD’s previous generation of plug-in hybrids, which achieved a fuel consumption rate of 3.8 liters per 100 kilometers on gasoline alone and offered a range of several dozen kilometers on battery power.
BYD New Next-Gen PHEV:
Since 2021, BYD’s previous hybrid models, including the Qin Plus DM-i sedan and Song Plug DM-i SUV, have driven the company’s rapid growth. These models have become popular due to their efficient fuel consumption and practical driving range, catering to a wide range of consumers.
Priced from 79,800 yuan (approximately Rs.916833), BYD’s plug-in hybrids have dominated the company’s sales over the past three years. The automaker has sold an impressive 3.6 million units of these vehicles, highlighting the strong market demand for fuel-efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions.
BYD’s relentless innovation in hybrid technology underscores its commitment to sustainable mobility and positions it as a formidable player in the global automotive industry. As the company continues to push the boundaries of hybrid technology, it is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of green transportation.
